Walking is fundamental, the basis of how many of us move through our daily lives. Wouldn’t it be amazing if it felt good? Can you imagine this mundane movement becoming juicy, dynamic, pleasurable, and generating more energy than it takes? Welcome to what is possible!

These workshops will change your understanding of how to move. Register for individual intensives or take the whole series. 

Through in-person instruction and guided exploration, Movement Fundamentals addresses pain and enhances whole-body coordination. We’ll focus on restoring your enjoyment of physical activity by developing awareness of internal alignment and learning techniques to improve muscle and fascia health. Movement Fundamentals gives you practices to rediscover your body’s natural ease.

When physical pain is a daily experience, we often separate from our bodies in order to distance ourselves from discomfort. This strategy is helpful in the short-term, but eventually cuts us off from the very internal processes that catalyze healing and maintain health.

The Posture of Presence is a nine-month, closely held container of study and practice. It will be open by application to a cohort of eight to twelve students. Inside this container we will restore connection to our own bodies and the larger body of earth. Practice will be held indoors and out, sometimes involving travel to local parks and public lands. Register now for the Q&A zoom call. Application is also available.

In this session you’ll learn how to move your arms. It sounds really basic, but the reality is that many of us misuse our upper body in ways that create unnecessary pain and discomfort. Being able to differentiate the arms from the torso is essential for reducing shoulder and neck tension. You’ll gain familiarity with what habitual movement patterns give you trouble, and how to shift them toward greater ease and functionality.

Contrary to popular belief, there’s a difference between being rigid and feeling stable. Most of us have lost the natural mobility in our spines, and may not even realize how much movement a spine needs in order to be healthy. When spines don’t get enough movement, we also lose core muscle tone.

Our deep torso muscles began developing their strength in infancy, and returning to developmental movements can help us restore our core as adults. A toned core and fluid spine are signs of resilience and stability, a body that carries us easily and confidently through our daily activities.
